Ways to use NameBest
Domain tools for buying, selling, and tracking names
The industry splits a single job across four companies: one to register, one to resell, one to auction, one to appraise. NameBest puts all four behind one search box and one account. Whether you are naming a company, chasing an expiring name, or running a portfolio, start with what you are trying to do.
See it run
Type a name and watch all three markets answer
One search covers the registry, the marketplace, and the live auctions. Every result comes back stamped available, for sale, or in auction, with an AI appraisal estimate beside it.
Results
AI appraisal on every name
Sample search, illustrative results. Sign in to search live.
Register, buy, or bid from one result
Buy
Search once and see every route to the name: available to register, listed for sale by its owner, or live in an auction. Make an offer or place a bid from the same result, with an AI appraisal beside it and escrow on anything you buy from another owner.
Register
Claim a name nobody has taken, generate ideas that are actually gettable, or move the names you already own into one account. Registration runs at the standard yearly fee for the extension, and the exact price shows on the result before you commit.
Register a domain
A registrar where a taken name is the start of the conversation, not the end.

Move your names in, and they land next to everything you buy, sell, and bid on.
Learn moreAuctions
Bid on expired, dropped, and premium names, watch the expiry pipeline, and back order the ones you cannot afford to miss. The appraisal sits next to the lot, so you can set a ceiling before the bidding starts.
Appraisal
Get a price estimate on any name, with the factors that produced it. An appraisal is decision support, never a guarantee of what a name will fetch, and it works just as well on a name you are about to bid on as on one you already hold.
Sell
List a name where buyers are already searching, take offers when they land, and track what you hold: values, renewal dates, offers, and cost basis. Commission is charged when a name sells. Names can lose value and many never sell.

CompareThe outcome
Whatever you came here to do, it ends in one account
Search, appraise, act, hold. Every path leads to the same place: the name in your account, with its renewal date, its estimate, and any offers on it, next to everything else you own.
One search
Three routes
register, buy, or bid
Every name
AI appraisal
an estimate, not a promise
Aftermarket buys
Escrow

What you hold
One portfolio
values, renewals, offers
Appraisals are estimates and decision support only. Domain values move, names can sell for less than you paid, and many never sell at all.

Start with the name, not the tab
